Gus Modern, retail partners lead food donation campaign

Modern home furnishings manufacturer Gus Design Group and more than 130 participating retailers collected more than 2,900 pounds of food as part of its Keep On Giving! promotion.

As
part of the promotion, North American consumers were offered a discount
on furniture when they donated to local food banks in January. They
were eligible for the 15% discount by either giving the non-perishable
food items at participating Gus retailers or by showing proof of online
donation to feedingamerica.org or foodbankscanada.ca.

"The
Gus Keep On Giving! event is a great way to extend the giving spirit
from the holiday season into the new year," said Erick Roorda, owner of
Gus retailer Mod Livin'
in Denver. "Hopefully the event gets people thinking about the small
things they can do year-round to make a big impact in their
communities."

Collected food and donations were distributed by the
participating retailers to local food banks in their respective
communities.
